Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 867 Wang Tong is in Linqing Prefecture

"General Qi understands clearly."

Wang Tong naturally understood the words Qi Wu relayed, but it was not because he wanted to do this step by step to the present situation, which made people feel helpless.

"Marshal Qi also said that many of the generals under his command are used to the Northland, and they are all old. It is inconvenient for them to go to Guangdong to live, and they miss the North. I heard that Guihua City recruited these veterans. Acting as a caravan guard, I also want to seek favor with Lord Hou, and I want to put those people there."

"What kind of favor is this? You come to talk to me. There are already quite a few veterans on the road. Just stuff them into the Sanjiang Commercial Bank."

Wang Tong opened his mouth and said, Qi Wu smiled and agreed there, the place where Wang Tong lives is far away from the canal wharf of Linqing Prefecture, and also some distance from the city. It is very suitable for Wang Tong to take care of his body here. After he said this to Qi Wu, he said:
"Go to the clerk and ask how the memorial is written, and show it to me."

As soon as I said this, there was a sound of footsteps outside, Han Gang hurried into the house, saluted and reported:
"Master Hou, there is news from Jiangnan that something serious happened in the Songjiang mansion."

*************
The Xu family in Songjiang was behind Taihu Lake Dragon King Liao Lang's instigation. Not many people knew about this matter. In the eyes of most people, the Xu family representing the local gentry and the bandit leader Liao Lang were incompatible.

After the imperial envoy left, the Dragon King of Taihu Lake, who had disappeared for a while, suddenly appeared and contacted the outlaws everywhere, saying that he wanted to avenge Monk Puyuan. Although everyone was surprised, they felt that it was not impossible.

If it was said that Monk Puyuan had friendship with Liao Lang, few people believed it at all, but the Xu Mansion in Songjiang was one of the most wealthy people in the world, if his family were to be destroyed, there would definitely be inexhaustible benefits.

Liao Lang controlled thousands of pirates in Taihu Lake. Rumor has it that they were all trained in military law, and they were very elite. It shouldn't be a big problem for these thousands of elites to break into a wealthy family.

It is very difficult to make a big profit for such a big event, but it is definitely beneficial to fish in troubled waters, and Liao Lang's side first sprinkles the money, which is more convincing, if there is no prospect of making a big fortune , How can you be so willing to spend.

In Liao Lang's team that day, there were quite a few people placed by the Xu family, but after that battle, a group of people were killed and wounded, and those who fled back were also sent away by the Xu family, for fear of showing signs of weakness.

Without these people, the news of what Liao Lang really did is well concealed, not to mention that Liao Lang has been messing around for many years, and the desperadoes he sent to invite are also lawless, but the news here is not too serious. understand.

For such a big case, many people would be suspicious, but Liao Lang gave out money in vain, and everyone believed it if he did not have the cash to cheat people.

There are many waterways in the south of the Yangtze River, and the lakes are dotted all over the place. The big thieves and gangsters hide in the waterways and use the waterways to move without being discovered.

Moreover, what makes these desperadoes recruited by Liao Lang more confident about this matter is that it is said that there are also many people from the sea who are going to participate. Hearing that those pirates would also do this, while admiring Liao Lang's wide range of friends, he felt more confident.

Pirates are not like these lawless people on the mainland. Pirates do not obey the laws of the king, and they are kings on the sea. Compared with pirates, Liao Lang and other bandits on lakes and rivers are much worse.

***************
Compared with Liao Lang's recruitment, Sha Dongning's recruitment is much more rigorous, but the efficiency is also much higher.

When Wang Tong left Tianjin Wei, the two gunboats Feilu and Zhenhai also left Tianjin Wei port and headed south all the way. At that time, Wang Tong was sent to Beijing on business, so he had to make some necessary preparations.

Among the forces belonging to Wang Tong, the Huwei Army is the forbidden army system, and the Jinyiwei divisions are the internal guard system, which is the army and internal guards of the Ming Dynasty. Their supreme commander is the Son of Heaven, and even the Tianjin Division is a financial and taxation agency sent by the Ming Dynasty. , such an organization is allowed to do things under the Ming law, or to do some gray actions on the edge of the law, but after all, there is a limit, and crossing the line violates the principle.

But the fleet at sea is different. The armed merchant ships starting from the Flying Deer are all private properties under the name of Wang Tong. It is Wang Tong who pays their salaries and distributes dividends to them.

Moreover, the composition of the fleet at sea is mostly pirates that Wang Tong coerced and lured. These people were outlaws back then, regardless of their willingness and reluctance, and now those who live on the ship are submissive and unwilling to leave.

This kind of person Wang Tong's order is the imperial decree, and the order naturally moves, and since Sha Dacheng brought people between Liao Town and Tianjin Wei, many sailors under Sha Dacheng's men also joined Wang Tong's fleet.

This time the ship went south, the crew and sailors on the two armed merchant ships specially arranged a lot of people under Sha Dacheng's subordinates, also for the convenience of being nearby.

Sha Dacheng's fleet was originally operating in the area of ​​Zhejiang and Fujian, and they also frequently traveled to and from Songjiang. The Sha family's status in the sea is very high, and all the forces operating in the sea in this area have to give some face.

This Sha Dongning first contacted the two sea ships, and then drove directly to the Hangzhou and Ningbo mansions, recruiting along the way.

Not to mention the reputation of the Sha family in the sea, not to mention the allure of the Xu family's goal, Sha Dongning poured a lot of money, which is enough to make people tempted.

One thing is quite interesting. On land, the people recruited by Liao Lang felt confident when they heard that there was a strong man from the sea joining, while the people on the sea heard that there was someone from Liao Lang joining, and they also felt that there was someone from the water. With the participation of local snakes, the confidence is much greater, and there is more confidence in each other.

*************
Monk Puyuan was killed, and the disciples were caught in the prison. The Xu family ignored them at all. Instead, they also sent away the contacts. Liao Lang was silent, and the Xu family also sent the contacts. Walk.

The Xu family was safe and sound during this investigation, but it also made everyone feel a little chilled. Everyone beat their lives to death for you. Your Xu family didn't care about it at all. Instead, it was lost as soon as it was said. But what really scared everyone was Wang Tong's methods. , from Nanjing all the way to Songjiang, how many people died along the way.

Those well-known characters in the ordinary life were chopped up like melons and vegetables in front of Wang Tong's personal guards, blood flowed like a river along the way, and the people passed by were not finished, and the local government was checked like a sieve. On weekdays, everyone makes money from each other and gives each other face.

This time Wang Tong ordered, no one cares about it. The five tigers of the Zhao family in Suzhou, who usually run rampant in Suzhou, Wang Tong was sent to prison with a word. I died in the prison, so I went there to reason.

If Wang Tong went back to the north quietly after being assassinated, the matter should stop. Who would have thought that Jin Yiwei in Nanjing would start pulling nets with the local government again? Like a strong wind, everyone should do things honestly and not dare to show their heads, otherwise they will die without knowing how to die.

Under such a situation, naturally no one asked the Xu family for news, and the Xu family also felt that the Xu family didn't need to do anything but wait quietly, so Wang Tong couldn't find any faults, so he could only resent Leaving, why bother with these dirty things that can't get on the stage and will only do bad things.

Even though some news had spread on the Jiangnan ground, no one had reached the Xu family. It's one thing that the Xu family didn't want to pay attention to it. You have the guts to say that you should also consider the ferocity of Liao Lang and the pirates.

**************
In Songjiang in September, it is also a bit chilly in the morning and evening, and occasionally it starts to be foggy.

According to the folklore of the peasants in the countryside, this kind of fog comes from the sea, and there are monsters hidden in the seabed. If people walk outside, they will be caught and eaten.

But it’s nighttime when it’s foggy, everyone is resting at home, and they don’t go out for a stroll. The demon’s statement is just to scare the children when chatting. I don't see any monsters eating it.

Ten miles south of Huating in Songjiang Fucheng, there is a shack next to the river. It is said that there is nothing to steal in the fields in this season. Old man Li sleeping here is just a picture. Old man Li doesn't believe in monsters. He has slept like this for decades, and he is still not good.

He drank two pots of old wine with the dried fish, and fell asleep in the hut. He didn't know what time it was at night. The old man Li was awakened by the noise in the night. Looking over, there are two red lights approaching here.

There was already mist at this time, and I couldn't see clearly at night. I only saw the two red lights floating. If it was a lantern, they wouldn't be so far away and go hand in hand. Could it be a big snake? Thinking of this, old man Li broke into cold sweat Come out, trembling and lying on the ground, not daring to breathe out.

Thinking that the "big snake" was going to pass, Old Man Li, who didn't dare to look up, seemed to hear the sound of horses' hoofs and the sound of paddling water on the river.
The sound of horseshoes went away, and the sound of oars paddling on the river took a long time to pass away. Old man Li was trembling on the ground and did not dare to move. If there is someone on the shore holding a lantern to guide, it is possible that the two red lights just now are the lanterns guiding on both sides of the river. Just as I thought of this, I heard a muffled sound coming from the direction of Fucheng, like thunder. It's raining?

**************
"The shells must be found, and all the places where the shells flew must be dismantled and burned."

Sha Dongning's face was covered with a cloth, and he said in a deep voice, the people around him agreed abruptly. Not far away, the gate of Xu's mansion had been blasted open, and there were shouts of killing and crying from inside, and a large number of murderers with weapons rushed towards him. rush!
